The GPU is based on the series 6 (Rogue) and integrates two clusters with two TMUs each and a scalar Unified Shader architecture. Depending on the available memory bandwidth and clock rate, the performance is similar to the Qualcomm Adreno 320 and ARM Mali-T624 MP4. High-resolution displays (up to 2560 x 1600 pixels) and demanding mobile games of 2014 will be handled without problems. Among others, the GPU supports OpenGL 3.x/4.x, OpenGL ES 3.0 as well as DirectX 10.

Clock rates and performance of the G6200 may vary between different SoCs. For example, the Mediatek MT6795 has a somewhat higher GPU frequency than the MT8135 (700 vs. 600 MHz).

android is getting boring
what distinguishes a cheap china android phone from sony, Samsung or htc? nothing spectacular at this point
now u guys whine about GPU
sincerely we dont use all of this in phones
as old as xperia z was it ran games well
now am using z3 the significant difference I saw in operation was multitasking...thanks to the ram
I need something mind blowing

mas39, 27 Jun 2015Oh no, I hope Sony doesn't end up using mediatek chips for all their future mobiles, otherwise... moreYou must be an idiot if you still have this perception that MediaTek is inferior to Qualcomm, go somewhere else you can blab that nonsense fanboy bcz that isnt true

Oh no, I hope Sony doesn't end up using mediatek chips for all their future mobiles, otherwise I may have to look elsewhere, i'm lucky at the moment as I have the Sony Z Ultra which rocks with the s800 chip but there is no way I will buy another Sony device if they go with rubbish mediatek chips, please Sony stick with Qualcomm!

Guessing one of their no-brainer effort to circus the balance of this phone's tag price since it'd be one of their own selfie-centric phone to date. Accommodate a cheaper but comparable performing CPU to accommodate a pricier with higher mp-count front camera. If this becomes the successor to the Z3 Compact, it won't only be the first of their Compact series to sport a Mediatek chipset but also be the first to sport one in the history of their Z line models ever made

AnonD-166556, 27 Jun 2015I worried about the GPU? Are that better than Z3 compact GPU? Let see if the review had published.Actually the PowerVR G6200 GPU on MT6795 is A LOT weaker than the Adreno 330 on Z3 compact, while the CPU on the Mediatek chipset maybe stronger than Qualcomm's
